Don't wire the 3rd speaker at 2 ohm. It will see twice the power of the other two, and could through your low end FR out of whack causing cancelation. Wire it at 8 ohm so it sees the same power as the other two.

And I would have made the internals for all three boxes the same, but .13 shouldn't make that big of a diffrence.

Unless you adjust time alignment with something they will hit at the same time. However since one sub is in a box of a different size you may end up with some differences or issues.

Don't get me wrong ideally I would have 4 subs all day versus 3 but no room I'm squeezing the 3 into 2011 mega cab with 6 - 6.5 components and 6- 6x9s all run of PDX amps
Just finished up pods in dash last night for 6.5s. Wrapping dash today in brown bomber jacket type leather

Thanks Ryan for the clarification on wiring up power one other ? Im using DQL.8 with this I'm gonna run main Signal to the amp running the 2 subs it has a pre out use RCAs to give 2nd sub signal they should hit on time???

Ok so I'm gonna wire the 2 subs at 4 ohm. Now I custom built 1 sub box with 3 separate chambers. Separate so it's like having 3 singles all in a row sitting next to each other but they are inone you follow. The two chambers were built at 1.25 cu ft I made the 3 chamber 1.38 cu ft air space I will wire it 2 ohm. It should rock

Two subs one amp.

Then one sub one amp.

The picture will show you in detail the two ways you can wire the subs together and at what Ohm it will present the amp.

With two dual 4 Ohm subs you will either show the amp 1 Ohm or 4 Ohm. With the single sub it will be 2 Ohm or 8 Ohm.

The single sub will need to be in its own separate box.

Ok thanks for your input

by Greatwhtbuffalo » Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:47 pm

So you saying get a third amp and run them as if they were single ?? Basically they are beings there in separate chambers correct except 2 are running of 1 amp

by Greatwhtbuffalo » Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:44 pm

No 2 amps 3- subs

by Greatwhtbuffalo » Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:43 pm

Running 2 subs of 1 amp and other sub on separate box built with 3 separate chambers. Wire them up in parallel or series??? Any advice
